GASPARDO gearbox - Easy and precise

Our 3 cam transmission design allows us to acquire maximum accuracy versus many competitors that have a two cam design.

Calibration is very time saving using our one handle lever to set the rate.

All of our cams and bearings on the gearbox run in an oilbath so that you do not have to worry about greasing them.

Penetration capabilityOpenClose

Penetration capability

The capacity of penetration in difficult conditions is given by the large notched disc (475 mm/18.7in diameter) and thanks to the reduced angle of action creates a groove very thin, thus giving reduced disturbance to the soil. The disks are connected to the frame using heavy arms and sturdy cast steel. Thanks to the hydraulic hitch the transport wheels raise totally off of the ground during field work causing maximum penetration of the units. The spring structure perpendicular to the ground allows the element to follow even very irregular shapes and to keep constant pressure applied to the soil.

Seed depth controlOpenClose

Seed depth control

Thanks to the seeding depth control made of cast steel you will have no problem maintaining a constant depth even in the harshest conditions. The depth limiter is made of a hard cast steel thus helping with the penetration of the disc while making sure that your seed depth is uniform producing an even emergence. Due to weight of the unit we have no problem working well in rocky conditions. Even wet conditions are not a problem with our tungsten carbide scrapers to keep the heavy soil away from the openers and limiters.

To vary the depth from 5cm/2in to 3cm/1in all you have to do is change the limiter on the side of the disc.

Rubber gauge wheelOpenClose

Rubber gauge wheel

The rubber gauge wheel systems is for the farmer who like to make adjustments to the seed depth often. We can do this with a pin adjustment on the side of the unit. The rubber gauge wheel system is not as suitable as the cast iron unit in very wet heavy soil type conditions.

Furrow closing systemOpenClose

Furrow closing system

The closure of the narrow furrow is obtained by a tapered wheel mounted on an arm independent of the unit itself. This allows for the wheel to move independently of the unit, running beside the furrow so that there will not be to much compaction over the furrow. The closing system works very well in rocky conditions.

Seed and FertilizerOpenClose

Seed and Fertilizer

The special design of the seed and fertilizer combined drill allows you to optimize the amount of fertilizer used thus reducing overall fertilizer cost. Our combination unit also reduces the number of passes needed to go over the field. This will reduce compaction and overall fuel and labor costs. When comparing our fertilizer distribution to that of a spreader on uneven terrain our drill will give you a uniform application where a spreader unit cannot achieve such results.

2 point hitchOpenClose

2 point hitch

Our cast two point hitch allows for easy hookup and great versatility in the field because of the multiple pivot points.
